Aluko Aims For EPL With Fulham

Sone Aluko has stated that Fulham are aiming to gain promotion to the premier league, after failing last season.

Fulham could only make it to the play-offs and lost 2-1 to Reading to end their race for promotion.

“Reading worked hard and had a game plan to frustrate us — and it worked,” Aluko told The Sun.

“At the start of last season, we weren’t tipped to be anywhere near the playoffs.

“But we believed in ourselves and knew we would get there. We played very good football en route. Overall we were happy with how we performed — although of course, we weren’t content with how it ended.

“The goal is to build on last season. We’ve kept hold of a lot of key players but we’re still a few short from where we would like to be.

“I’m sure the club is working hard to bring more players in now (in order to fortify their team).

“The aim is to get promoted this time — so first and foremost that is the automatic places — but, if not, it’s the playoffs again.”
